Re: Meet MEST Lagos Incubator General Manager – Neku Atawodi

1. Never refer to yourself as low calibre.
2. If you are entrepreneurial you can reach out to MEST or better still, subscribe to their newsletter http://meltwater.org/news/n... and be up to date with their activities and when application oppens, you will be informed.
3. GO build something or help someone build. That is the best way to attract those who want to work with you.

Compliments of the season.

Re: Why Andela’s Nigeria Story is Important

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 02:07:57 -0000

Good one E.

Like I wrote, it was never about whose idea or where the legal HQ is. You highlighted two things which are very critical

"Andela started in Lagos, Nigeria, in Mrs Titi Adeoye’s (shout-out to her!) vacant duplex"

and

"Two years ago, who could have thought a crazy twenty-something-year-old Nigerian from a humble middle class family could co-found a global company from Nigeria funded by THE Mark Zuckerberg?"

Going forward, I hope Andela never forgets where they come from. Cos we won’t 😄

All the best man!

Oh. Nice. Didn't know Budgit shared it.

Re: Number of sectors. What I put up is just an example. It can be as many as required. Like I said in the post, the type of sectors will depend on priority areas although some like education, healthcare, security etc should be general in every state.

I agree with you that listed project should be tracked and verified. Budgit is doing something in that area with a tool they call Tracka.

However I am happy to brainstorm with you.

You can holla on Twitter. @OoTheNigerian is my handle and DM is always open.

Re: How to create ten thousand successful African Startups

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 16:31:11 -0000

The jury is still out on if any of our startups have delivered to investors.

The problem I have with your suggestion is that you have deemed YOUR WAY (which you did not take) to be the only way. Nothing is exclusive. the Jobberman boys delivered right out of school (let's leave the US dropouts)

Personally (Important) I think a combination of skills are needed in the founding team and having an experienced person among is quite helpful http://oonwoye.com/2014/12/...

I criticized Elumelu's approach but looking back it was wring. We really don;t know what works. So let each person try his and we rince and repeat.

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Sun, 17 Jan 2016 14:34:26 -0000

Writing brings a lot of clarity. We are quite aligned on this.

So what's left is to decide the foundation which this is going to be built upon.

Re: Why Aren’t Black Tech Founders And Executives, Speakers at Major Tech Conferences?

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Sat, 17 Oct 2015 18:04:08 -0000

I agree that Jason traies quite a bit for diversity causes and founders. We'll ask for more though :D

Re: Why Aren’t Black Tech Founders And Executives, Speakers at Major Tech Conferences?

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 03:01:20 -0000

What a coincidence that only the blacks don't want to speak at conferences. ;)

Anyway, from observation, I see them spending time speaking at lots of conferences and events. Just not the majors. I very much doubt it is as a result of they turning it down. e.g Sim has spoken at many places. He can never have time to do all.

Re: #TheList: One Nigerian Ministry I’d LOVE To See

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:58:36 -0000

You lost me when you tried to blame the North.

What have your Igbo Governors done right in their States? Jonathan "our son" was president for 6 years, what changed.

Once you go tribal, you lose any chance of co opting others to move this nation forward.

PS: Almost ALL development in the SE was done when a Northern person was president. So please wake up.

Re: Let’s Be Honest, Lagos is NOT Working

Oo Nwoye - @OoTheNigerian — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:48:34 -0000

Thanks for your comment.

These things are not new to those in office. Lagos has a master plan. Same with Nigeria as a country. What has always been the issue is finding those with the political will and interest to do what is right.

As for ideas, those in authority have access to them plenti!

Thanks for the link. I will check it out

Ha! You are the person saying I'm making them buy the phone.

BTW, I guess the inventory for 16GB just finished. It would be obviously in higher demand.
